Abstract: Method and apparatus for capturing an image of a lateral face of a wooden board, where the lateral face (2) is parallel to a main axis of development of the wooden board (3), with the method comprising a step for feeding the wooden board (3) with the lateral face (2) transverse to a feeding direction (4), a step for illuminating the lateral face (2), a step for capturing, using a plurality of area scan cameras (9), a plurality of first digital images at different times, where each first digital image comprises a portion (10) of the lateral face (2) extending for an entire height of the lateral face (2) transverse to the main axis of development and for part of a length of the lateral face (2) along the main axis of development, where the set of all such portions (10) corresponds to the entire lateral face (2), and a merging step for merging the first digital images using an electronic processing unit to obtain a second digital image showing the entire lateral face (2).
